3 Angels players who Perry Minasian would include in a trade for MLB talent

Honorable Mentions: Niko Kavadas, Chase Silseth, Víctor Mederos, Kenny Rosenberg

Kavadas, a recent add to the Arizona Fall League roster, might hang around with the Halos. As currently constructed, the Angels have a right-handed heavy lineup (Trout, Ward, Neto, O'Hoppe, Adell, and... Rendon...I guess...for now). Their left-handers/switch-hitters lack pop (Schanuel, Rengifo, Moniak). Kavadas is not the best player in the world, but he is a left-hander with serious in-game power. The Angels currently lack a solid DH option, which Kavadas could potentially slot in as against right-handed pitchers at some point in 2025.

Silseth had a lot of expectations heading into 2024, but here we are now and Silseth's future with the Angels is murky. Silseth began the season in the Angels' rotation, and could still in 2025, but he was surpassed by many other young arms for the Angels like Soriano and Kochanowicz. Perhaps Silseth could break camp in the Angels' bullpen, as a permanent move to the 'pen would add even more velocity to his fastball and could maybe help keep him off the injured list. The Angels could certainly use another power arm in the bullpen alongside Ben Joyce.

Mederos turned a lot of heads in Major League Spring Training back in 2023. Mederos flourishes a filthy arsenal of four-seamers, two-seamers, a changeup, slider, and curveball. Like pretty much every Angels' pitching prospect, Mederos has injury issues that plague him. Despite appearing in each of the past two seasons for the Angels, after getting drafted in 2022, Minasian might not commit to long-term plans with Mederos. He could be a converted-reliever option.

Rosenberg is in the same shoes as Suarez and Daniel, except he has less upside and trade value than those two. A bulk-reliever/piggyback type arm, Rosenberg sports a unique changeup and is a fiery competitor.
